Today, PhD is centric in php.net projects and needs some improvements to be useful to others projects. In Google Summer of Code 2008 was added output formats/themes and other things, however these formats/themes are very attached to the main code of the PhD and is impossible to develop a new theme without changing the main code. The aim of my proposal is develop a Plugin System to manage Themes and Formats, to enable other projects writing their own themes without modify the main code of PhD.

First part:

• Write the Abstract Factory (Plugin System)
• Write generic themes
• Begin writing a theme package for DocBook: The Definitive Guide

Second part

• Improve indexer
• Write a theme package for Producing Open Source Software (if time allows it)
